Alas, heavy casualties for both sides in this one. The only victory condition that the Italians were able to manage was to inflict more casualties on the advancing GIs than they suffered (15-8). They were not able to hold all the 40-meter hilltop hexes on Djebel Berda, nor were they able to stop the Americans from crossing the trail with good order units.
